Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
As a London location, Brompton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Agree how the base is left
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Give us a map or what3words for base
A short menu keeps the line moving.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
